With the rescinding of all remaining evacuation alerts for the Okanagan Complex fires—Mt. Eneas, Law Creek, Goode’s Creek—the Central Okanagan Emergency Operation Centre is no longer operational.

The centre remains on standby and is ready for re-activation should another emergency require support and coordination.

B.C. Wildfire Service continues to manage the active Okanagan Complex fires. For ongoing information on current fire conditions, visit www.bcwildfire.ca.

Forest fires and the smoke they produce can impact air quality. Check the Air Quality Health Index for updates on levels and their associated health risks.

All campfires are prohibited throughout the Regional District of Central Okanagan including the City of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland, Westbank First Nation and the Central Okanagan East and West Electoral Areas.

Campfires are not permitted at any time within the City of Kelowna.
